STUDENTS at Coleg Llandrillo celebrated their A-level results after months of hard work.

The college’s overall A-level pass rate was 98% and above the Welsh national average of 97.2% and the UK average of 97.8%.

One hundred percent pass rates were achieved in 36 subjects and 74.4% of students achieved A*-C, compared to the Welsh average of 74.1%.

Friends Victoria Hewitt and Hailey Jackson from Llandudno have both secured places at university to study for a degree in childcare nursing. Victoria will study at Bangor and Hailey at Cumbria.

Will Broadway from Glan Conwy also got two As, one B and one D at AS-level and is returning to complete his studies at A-level next year with the aim of studying product design at Loughborough.

Colm Munday, from Colwyn Bay, has secured a place to read war, conflict and modernity at Brighton University. Having initially achieved a geography A-level and the Welsh Bacc in 2009, he then took an A-level in history, achieving a B which gave him the points required.

Colm’s ultimate aim is to work in a negotiating position for the UN or the EU, dealing with conflict resolution.

He said: “I’d really like to thank my history tutor, Fiona Black, whose help and support have been fantastic.”

Huw Evans, principal at Coleg Llandrillo, congratulated the students involved: “The results are outstanding and a credit to both students and staff.”
